Screw you Ford! Seriously wtf? Don’t take away colors until everyone that reserved one gets one.
@Ford Motor Company this rollout has been a masterclass in pissing off your own customers.

No more red on the base. Why Ford?

Someone puked a buttload of Eruption Green pics, but they could only manage one Hot Pepper Red?

They had to leave RR paint in stock for the F150Lightning. And as such, this may have locked RR as the color I choose for my Lightning reservation.

I hate the lightning color choices. I'm between amb and Rapid Red and Atlas Blue on it, but occasionally I think about getting it in stone grey

Meanwhile over at another Bronco forum, I see a total of about 20 posts relating to the new colors.

Jeep offers 13 different colors on the base model Wrangler. Including a straight up red. Come on Ford.

Extra cost for all but white? What's with that?

I don't care, at least I can get the color I want, without playing games spending thousands more bumping to a version with more color choices.

Seeing Ford use hard tops at these events fills me with fu€£ing rage.

It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand.

Demanded by Enthusiasts And Inspired by its Heritage, Eruption Green Paint Option Set for 2022 Bronco; Hot Pepper Red Too | Ford Media Center

DEARBORN, Mich., Aug. 20, 2021 – Packed with the latest off-road technology, the Ford Bronco’s early years are the inspiration for new Bronco color choices for the 2022 model year.

Ford Bronco color and materials designers developed Eruption Green Metallic as a modern interpretation of Mallard Green, which was featured on first-generation Bronco models in the early- to mid-1970s.

“Automotive enthusiasts, and especially Bronco fans, are passionate about colors and will be excited about Eruption Green,” said Barb Whalen, Ford color and materials manager. “Paint has a wonderful way of evolving because of technology. Eruption Green is a contemporary color, but there’s a connection with Bronco heritage. It’s evergreen-inspired, with yellow highlights that really tie it into nature.”

The first-generation Bronco (1966-1977) is the featured vehicle at this year’s Woodward Dream Cruise. Bronco brand took the opportunity to debut the new Eruption Green color to the audience at the world’s largest one-day automotive event, as well as the new-for-2022 Hot Pepper Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat.

Both Eruption Green and Hot Pepper Red Metallic will be available for every Bronco series in the lineup.

Antimatter Blue, Lightning Blue Metallic and Rapid Red Metallic Tinted Clearcoat will be available exterior color options until the end of the 2021 model year. Orders for 2022 Bronco two- and four-door, including with Eruption Green and Hot Pepper Red, will open later this year.

Green machine, green machine, green machine!!!

I was really hoping for something close to my old D-90. The new green is damn near perfect. The only upside to getting told I have to wait for a MY22.

Wait. So they’ve rolled out a few thousand 21s at most, coming up on the year end production deadline and they’ve removed 2 colors from the freaking line up and added 2 new colors? I mean I live in Dallas area and I’ve seen ONE Bronco on the road (white) but Ford is already changing the lineup…I guess it’s easy to “change the color” on a non-existent vehicle. I think we’re being ghosted, y’all.

The whining has begun... C'mon guys.
